No more games.

Editor,

Whoever merges with BP should be legally required to assume all of BP's liabilities in the Gulf of Mexico, and this obligation must be stringently enforced.

Texaco cleverly got itself bought by Chevron, and the unbelievable environmental destruction Texaco had wrought in Ecuador -- on the order of BILLIONS of gallons of toxic waste dumped into rivers and streams and onto the land -- suddenly became no one's business but that of the indigenous people who live there and were stricken with disease and death and destitution much as the pelicans and porpoises are now in the Gulf of Mexico.

Here is a note to the American people's esteemed friend John Roberts on the Supreme Court of the United States: These games and evasions by giant corporations have got to stop. The miracle of life on the planet Earth trumps all imagined rights and privileges assumed by corporate vampires and legitimated by corrupt lawyers.
